Kenny Irwin #28 / Texaco / Ford CAREER HIGHLIGHTS Irwin won rookie of the year, but every time he looks at that trophy he probably winces. It was a season of unmet expectations and unwanted -- and sometimes unfair -- scrutiny. It's safe to say his sponsor believed in him more than his race team did. We'll have to see if a new crew chief and a new shop the team can call its own will help. Sources: NASCAR Press Guides, Star and News staff reports.
